You and me under the world tree

The sound of 'zi la la' instantly overshadowed other sounds.

"Sometimes when cooking, I think this sound is very nice."

"I think so……"

The corners of Dietrich's mouth raised unconsciously.

At this moment, among other things, she felt quite relaxed.

This has been the case for a month, although for safety reasons, she has never left the small building protected by magic and the outer courtyard.

However, the coziness and comfort of living in the city has never been there before.

Because she really didn't have to do anything, as if she had given everything to the man she trusted in front of her.

And her daily work...

"Uh."

Originally, Dietrich was quite happy, but once she thought of her so-called 'work' here, she really couldn't be happy.

After all, as Hodder teased before, it was the job of taking care of three children.

What's more, Hela is still a big brat.

Just hearing her howling, Dietrich felt dizzy.

"What's for lunch! What's for lunch!"

See, once she thought of Hela, Dietrich's voice involuntarily appeared in her mind.

This even completely destroyed her original good mood.

"Why did I suddenly hear that guy's voice?"

"What's for lunch! What's for lunch!"

"Because she's right behind us," Hodder said in a low voice.

However, although he did say so verbally, Hodder obviously had no intention of turning back.

And Huo De didn't look back, of course Dietrich would not talk to that woman who likes to work hard when she has nothing to do.

Therefore, the two worked in perfect harmony.

Dietrich continued to handle the potatoes on the cutting board, while Hodder took a sip of the vegetable soup.

"Well, it's ok, let's cook for a while."

Between words, he started another pot, poured water and started to cook eggs.

All movements are as smooth as clouds and flowing water, but in some people's eyes, this pair of men and women who cooperate with each other has made a fundamental mistake.

"So-so-say-ah!"

Seeing that these two people didn't respond to her intentions at all, Hela couldn't help but lengthen her tone.

"I asked, what's for lunch!"

"Look for yourself, it's the ones you usually eat."

"Oh~"

Then Hodder dealt with her with a single response.

This is not to say that the sage can completely suppress the Nether Queen in terms of momentum.

After all, in terms of status and race, Hela is the biggest here.

But her previous behavior was not for other reasons, it was just hoping that someone would respond to her, and once she responded, her goal would be achieved.

Once the goal is achieved, there is no reason to continue to be a demon.

"Go out and wait, it will be fine in a while."

"Asraki has already called out..."

"She just woke up and felt uncomfortable. It's not the first time I've fed her. I still know when she should eat."

Unknowingly, a slightly noisy sound came from the three-story small building where the sage temporarily lived.

Moreover, it may be difficult for ordinary people to imagine that the three chattering people there are not ordinary rich people.

They are all wizards.

There is no such gloomyness as ordinary people imagine, there are no strange cauldrons and cold witchcraft, and there is no seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests.

Wizards are just ordinary people. Even after learning magic, they still have their own thoughts, wishes and emotions.

Human beings are like this.

Giants are like that.

The same is true of God, of course.

"Okay, it's time for dinner. I'm going to feed the children. You can eat first."

Then, Hodder walked towards his room with the prepared baby food.

However, when he walked to the window, he saw a figure outside the manor.

"Are you coming..."

Chapter 63: Krimhild's Movements

The news that the sage returned to Skyfury City is not a secret, and he himself has no intention of covering up his whereabouts, so many people know that the legendary sage has returned to Skyfury City.

The civilians may not be very aware of this matter because of the speed of message transmission, but most people in the court do.

However, even after a month, no one came to disturb the old sage's life like a wild crane.

Of course, to put it nicely, it means not disturbing, but to put it another way, it means never visiting.

Hodder once controlled the center of the kingdom, and his every move could cause a heavyweight earthquake in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This is true.

But that was a long time ago.

As for them, as long as they are a little more careful, they can find that from the moment the descendants of the Volsung clan returned, the sage has not played any obvious role.

He even took on the role of an 'inheritor', and even handed over the treasure left by Siegmund to Siegfried, leaving nothing for himself.

that power?

He has never touched his hands, at most he will be a cameo of Siegfried's courtiers and help with some work.

Siegfried's power team has no place for sages from the moment the prototype and framework are completed.

Is there any benefit to please the sage?

On the surface there is no such thing.

Because as far as today is concerned, there are three types of people who are still in the court.

The first is Hagen of Tronpage.

Deeply trusted and in charge of the guards, he can get involved in the palace's political strategy and even know the secrets of the royal family.

The second is to repay Siegfried's kindness.

Because without Siegfried, the Lord of Armies, they are not qualified to stand there and complete the essential leap as the founding heroes.

They don't have too much desire for power, they just want to show what they have learned and get the glory and status they deserve.

It is worth mentioning that for such a person, being an idle lord is the best, with honor, status, and even power.

But as we all know, there are very few lords in the Netherlands, and the few lords sealed by the Lord of Armies himself have no real power at the political level.

Even, their military power does not come from the position of lord, but from other titles in the army.

As for the army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the supreme leader is the current Lord of Armies, that is, Siegfried.

The king has the right to mobilize any army, and there is no need to discuss with his courtiers and palaces.

In fact, this system has obvious drawbacks, because it is entirely based on the decision of Siegfried alone.

But for the current Netherlands, and even for what Hodder and the others are going to do, this system is actually the most superior.

The things of the next generation belong to the next generation, and all they have to do is finish everything in one generation!

For this reason, there are very few lords in the Netherlands, and most of them are symbolic.

In terms of military exploits, the rest of them are simply not as good as Hagen, Howler, and Halfe who first served.

So they had no choice but to stay in the palace and want to do their part for the young king.

This is their original intention.

But the original intention is easily corroded by the external wealth and the power controlled by the hands.

The so-called power has a sweet allure. Even brothers can fall out and even kill each other because of this thing, not to mention that the so-called favor will eventually disappear one day.

And after the heart of repayment is exhausted, these young people who used to have a pure heart will transform into the third type of people.

hungry for power...

They may not have the guts to dare to rebel, or do some dirty things under the nose of the Lord of Armies, but they must do their best within the rules after all.

The so-called gang formation must be unavoidable, even Siegfried himself has no way to guarantee that his court will be clean.

After all he is different from other kings.

Other kings can completely distribute power and only control their own territory, which can ensure the clarity of their own court to the greatest extent, at least not so complicated.

But Siegfried is different.

His court is the power center of the entire Netherlands, which even involves the military power and political power of the entire kingdom, and even has the right to appoint and dismiss the highest executives in various places.

Therefore, it must be more complicated. Even if Siegfried is the founding monarch, he cannot avoid problems in people's hearts.

But for these people who have sharpened their heads and want to climb up, they only have various interests in their eyes.

And the sage has already put on a posture of staying away from the court. To put it bluntly, he is unwilling to get involved in the court of the younger generation.

In this case, no matter what the reason is, they will not visit the 'reclusive' sage without authorization.

But whether this is because they are afraid of the identity of the sage wizard, or because they feel that the sage has no value of court interests, it depends on their own views.

It has nothing to do with Hodder anyway.

For him, the important thing is that those guys didn't bother him, and that's enough.

But in today's Netherlands, there are really few people who can come to him, and at this moment, the person standing at the door is Hagen.

Hagen of Tronpage...

Perhaps no one would have imagined that the powerful person who stirred up the situation of the kingdom in the palace would stand uneasy at the gate of his manor at this time.

But his anxiety is actually normal.

Because he is also a wizard.

Although he has been busy with court affairs recently, so he has neglected magic exercises, he can still feel the powerful power emanating from the barrier.

Although the power of this magic is not as powerful as the rune barrier covering the entire palace, it is enough to make him feel frightened.

Even at this moment, Hagen didn't know if it was his own illusion. He always felt that if he entered the manor rashly, he would encounter an unprecedented crisis.

He felt this way because it was suppression at the level of magical attainment.

In front of the sage, his so-called magical attainments that have repeatedly helped him escape danger are as ridiculous as toys in the hands of children.

"Well, it seems that I can't stand here forever."

Noticing Hagen's increasingly uneasy expression, Hodder couldn't help but smiled wryly.

He has to go out.
